The continued growth of altcoins is directly related to buyer activity, capital reallocation from major coins, and other factors. This week's top performers included Hyperliquid (HYPE), Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), and Aave(AAVE).

Hyperliquid (HYPE)

HYPE, a token from the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, has appeared on our list for the second time. This week, the price of HYPE increased by 48.60% and reached a new high of $21.48.

The ongoing rally is due to increased demand for altcoins. The fact that some participants in the HYPE airdrop have not sold their tokens and the asset is not yet traded on central exchanges also contributed to the growth.

If the situation does not change, the price of HYPE may continue to rise. However, if holders start actively taking profits, the token will inevitably face a correction.

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)

VIRTUAL has increased significantly in price due to increased interest in AI agents. In the last 7 days, the altcoin price has increased by 41.50% and is now at $2.57. The Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator on the daily chart is in positive territory, indicating continued buying pressure.

If the trend continues, VIRTUAL could rise even further. However, if the bears gain the upper hand, the altcoin risks a correction to $1.18.

Aave (AAVE)

AAVE concludes our list of weekly leaders. Over the past few days, the token price has surged 36.20% as whales continue to accumulate and news that Donald Trump-affiliated crypto project World Liberty Financial has added AAVE to its portfolio.

Awesome Oscillator (AO), an indicator that measures momentum, suggests that the rally could continue. If the trend continues, the price of AAVE could rise to $440. However, if altcoin holders decide to take profits, the asset will face a correction towards $309.42.
